SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 262,559, dated August 15, 1882.

Application filed March 24, 1882. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, AMOS O. BARSTOW. Jr., ofthe cityand countyof Providence, and State of Rhode Island, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Stove-Urns; and I do hereby declare that the following specification, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, forming a part of the same, is a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

My invention relates to urn attachments for stoves; and my improvement consists in an urn composed of a vase, a standard or standards, a step or bottom support for the vase, and a top holder therefor.

The object of my improvement is to furnish an ornamental attachment for a stove, which shall not only possess utility as a means for holding water to be evaporated during the season when fires are kept, and serve at other times as a receptacle for flowers, but is also so constructed that nearly the whole surface of the vase, which may be of porcelain, glass, pottery, or other material, ornamented with figures and designs, shall be exposed to view, thereby securing a highly-ornamental effect.

Referring to the drawings, Figure 1 represents my improved urn attached to a portion of a stove, the said urn having two standards. Fig. 2 shows another style of my improved urn, having a single standard. Fig. 3 represents still another form, having two standards and a top holder for the vase, applied only on opposite sides thereof.

A is the vase of the urn; B, the standard or standards; 0, the step or bottom support for the vase, and D the top holder therefor.

As shown in the drawings, the standardsB are in the form of upright arms, which are joined at the base, and are adapted to he secured to a stove by the usual bolt, 1).

The step or bottom support, G,is in the form of a flanged ring; but it may, if desired, be in the form of a fiat disk or a bar, and is attached to the standard or standards B.

As shown in Figs. 1 and 2, the top holder, D, is in the form of a collar or ring of a size adapted approximately to fit the upper portion of the vase, and thereby prevent it from being displaced sidewise. As shown in Fig. 3, the top holder, D, is composed of two parts, each attached to a standard, and engaging the vase on opposite sides.

As will be readily seen and understood, the construction of my improved urn allows the greater portion of the vase to be exposed to view, thereby securing a pleasing effect. The construction also allows the vase to be removed for the purpose of filling, or in order that others ornamented with different designs may be substituted.

I am aware that a vase having a base which is connected by a neck to a hemispherical body has been supported above the top of a stove by means of a crane pivoted to the stovetop or to a standard thereon, and provided with a single ring which engages the vasebody; but I do not claim such a construction.

What I claim as my invention, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

1. The improved stove-urn herein described, consisting of avase and a skeleton supportingframe composed of a base-support and a top holder for the vase, and a standard or standards connecting said base-support and top holder, the whole being adapted to be secured to a stove,substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The combination, with a stove, of an urn consisting of a vase and a skeleton supporting-frame composed of a base-support, (J, and top holder, 1), for the vase, and a standard or standards, B, rigidly secured to said base-support and top holder,substantiall y as described and shown.
